Cropper, Williams and Maynard recalled by MK Dons for Brighton match

MK Dons have made three changes for their meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion at stadium:mk, with Cody Cropper, Jonny Williams and Nicky Maynard recalled.

Two of the alterations are enforced, with David Martin injured and Samir Carruthers serving a club-ordered suspension. The other alteration is tactical, with Alex Revell starting on the bench. Williams will start in a CM role in the encounter, with Carruthers missing following high-profile events, and Jake Forster-Caskey ineligible.

Sitting on the Dons’ bench are midfielder Carl Baker and defender Ben Tiney, who return after absence through injury and loan spell out respectively.

Brighton’s teamsheet features a starting return to stadium:mk for the familiar face of Sam Baldock. The striker scored 43 competitive goals for the Dons, and scored four goals against his first club for Bristol City in the 2013-14 season.
